Impatiens scapiflora variations in Chikkmagaluru Karnataka-GS21022020-2

[Gurcharan Singh]

While travelling a distance nearly 26 km along  Mullayanagiri  to Baba Budangiri in Chikkmagaluru, Karnataka we found a lot of variation in populations of Impatiens scapiflora. I am attaching these here for expert views by Ashutosh Sharma ji.

Respected Gurcharan Singh sir,

I am not a expert (at least not currently) just a learner moreover i only know Himalayan Balsams as i don't have much experience with Impatiens of Western Ghats/South India.

So can't say much about these variations however i also thinks this is Impatiens scapiflora. In Himalayan Balsams we have a lot of variations and the reasons for variation including altitudinal variations and seasonal variation mainly because of temperature changes inducing smaller flowers and also color changes...

May be Wojciech Adamowski sir can have better explanations for these variations as he is expert... 

Best regards 

Ashutosh Sharma

Thanks, Singh ji.

These variations were already confirmed by Dr. Bhaskar, who has written Monograph on South Indian Balsams at Impatiens scapiflora and three variants GSOCT05/19
